Manchester City Extends Savinho's Contract Until 2031
Manchester City winger Savinho has signed a two-year contract extension, securing his place at the club until 2031.
The 21-year-old Brazilian is currently in his second season with City, having joined from sister club Troyes for £30.8 million in 2024.
Since joining, Savinho has made 54 appearances for Pep Guardiola's side, scoring four goals and providing 12 assists.
"I am incredibly proud to sign this new contract with City," Savinho expressed. "It’s a very special feeling to know that Pep and the club have placed such faith in me. It really means a lot to me and my family."
During the summer, Tottenham initiated discussions to acquire Savinho, but City firmly maintained that he was not for sale.
"I feel I have so much to improve on—I am still young and very eager to keep learning," he added, reflecting on his growth since joining from PSV Eindhoven and Girona.
"I know that working with Pep and his staff will help me continue to develop as a player."
Last month, Guardiola remarked that Savinho has the potential to become a "top player" for the club. He noted, "For forwards, it's always about numbers—goals and assists. Savinho created a lot last season, but in the final third, he was a bit too frantic."
Guardiola continued, "Once he learns to calm down, given his youth, he will continue to improve and become a top-class player. He can play on both wings, possesses speed, and has a strong work ethic. Savinho will make that leap naturally, and he will be a top player for Manchester City."
Hugo Viana, City’s director of football, added, "Savinho is still very young, but he has already shown the qualities necessary to become an exceptional player."
This new contract for Savinho, who has scored one goal in 13 appearances for Brazil, follows similar extensions for midfielder Nico O'Reilly and full-back Rico Lewis.
